Remember a while a go when I posted about my food related tshirts? I really can not resist buying a new one whenever I see it. Today I found this cute one with an Afro Muffin! Cute isn't it? So I got us one!

That's right! You read it correctly, I got us one each! Since a lot of you liked my tshirts so much and some even asked me where I got them, when I saw this new one I decided to get one for me and one for you! The tshirt is black with that cute moustachy muffin and it's a size medium.

Even if you don't think you'll use the tshirt yourself, you can allways get it for your daughter, friend, mom, sister, niece... And if you're a guy you can try to win it for your girlfriend or use it to go to the gym. Yes, I'm talking to you!

So to enter the Giveaway just leave me a comment saying what would make the perfect Afro Muffin! I want flavours, add-ins, whatever you can think of that would celebrate Africa in a muffin form!

Also, after my last post, a lot of you asked for pictures of the Lightning McQueen cake. Here it is! At this point he was still smiling, not knowing he was about to be eaten. Oh poor McQueen!...

Nice, nice, love your T-shirts I was thinking about this of an Afro Muffin, I think have into chocolate, coffe(a bite) and lovely spices, well Africa have many and is so nice, maybe a muffin chocolate with coffe and spices and bain in some melt chocolate, what you think ?? Is and idea, so many of you have more sure. xxxxGloria(Love so Africa and I have friends there!)

I would make a lemon, miracle fruit muffin, because everyone knows miracle fruit is grown in West Africa. I would make a really sour lemon muffin and it would have no sugar, but before eating the muffins, I would eat a miracle berry tablet. You see, the miracle berry takes the sour taste out of things if you consume some of it before eating sour things. And then, if it didn't really work, my hair would probably turn afro from the sour muffin! ;)(Seriously, do you think I knew all this? Of course not, I looked online for flavors of Africa. He he.) Am I in the drawing now? ;) Pick me, pick me.....fingers crossed!

One of the native root veggies that is common to the African cuisine is the sweet potato! When baked in breads and cake it is so moist!!! I'd flavor the cake with cinnamon and ginger. I think I'd frost it with a lemon and ginger flavored cream cheese frosting.

Lemons,cinnamon and ginger are spices used in much of African cooking.

I would make an Amarula cupcake with dark chocolate frosting and sprinkled with a little toasted coconut. That is a very cool shirt - If I win, my 19 year old daughter will recieve it and love it. (if you have not had Amarula, it is a liquer like Bailey's made from an African tree fruit - so good!)

Haha you were talking to me? I think an afro muffin would totally make me stronger, I would inherit Shaft's super strength or something :)

If I was an Afro muffin, what would I have? I don't know a thing about Africa, so I'm going with my gut on this one.... A BLACK RAINFOREST cupcake. Get it? Oh man I'm terrible. I guess that means a dark chocolate cupcake with dried cherries, some dark chocolate chocolate pieces, and a nice white chocolate whipped cream top.

Well I think Africa is a very tropical place and has many tropical fruit available to them.

So what about a ...Mango flavored cupcake filled with a passionfruit curd. Topped with a swirl of coconut infused whipped cream frosting. Garnished with thin slices of plantain flambe- sprinkled with some coarse cane sugar and toasted coconut pieces. Then a passion fruit flower placed on the very top. Passionfruit flowers are so pretty. :)

Hmmm, that is difficult. I would go for chocolate, but that would be to simple. So what about an espresso muffin with a chocolate chantilly cream on top and two M&Ms as eyes? LOL that sounds like a surreal muffin.

An Afro Muffin. Hm. I'd start with a dark chocolate cupcake and fill it with a coffee bean rum-spiked bittersweet chocolate ganache. Then the topper--because it HAS to have an Afro: chocolate marshmallow piped on top of the cupcake and browned with a torch.

Your McQueen cake turned out really cute just like the T-shirt :)I think the perfect Afro Muffin should be a savoury one, actually I'd try to recreate the famous Jollof rice in the form of a muffin (a little bit of shredded chicken, rice, a lot of veggies and as for flavourings: thyme, chilli, ginger, bay leaves, cinnamon, curry powder...)

Since I have a mini "muffin top" or (should I call it a cupcake top) when I wear the wrong pants, I can totally relate to Mr. Moustache. I DO NOT have one of those or an afro although in my youth I did have some pretty big 80's hair.

Love your post, how original and the t-shirts hilarious!! Congrats on the awards!Has to be chocolate with a truffle surprise or a creamy center. For the afro , maybe some candy floss dusted with Dutch cocoa?

Ths shirt is so cute and I love your new look! How about muffins with dyed cotton candy on top to look like the muffin on the shirt? That's my idea and I'm sticking to it!! You deserve all of those awards and more!!!

Yeay! pick me! I love that shirt! hehe. Im also very impressed with your "Cars" cake. Too cute!Anyways... what would make the perfect Afro Muffin?The main item on any Kenyan's diet is maize or corn, so I would make it a corn and bacon African flavor muffin.

how cute is that shirt?! I love it! The best muffin ever...it would be a toss up between chocolate chocolate chip with oreao cream cheese frosting, or lemon with lemon frosting, or I even had a cute little cake the other day that was white chocolate raspberry and it was amazing! So, I'm not very good at decisions. I'll have to try all of them though!
